Honey is a wonderful natural sweetener that can be used in main and side dishes as well as desserts. Although it is available throughout the year, it is an exceptional treat in the summer and fall when it has just been harvested and is at its freshest. Here is a recipe for family-style honey-glazed chipotle chicken, honey-glazed carrots and honeybee cupcakes provided by pastry chef David Guas.
Ingredients:
For the chicken
4 legs (with thigh attached)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon cayenne
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt, kosher
1/3 cup oil (canola or vegetable)
Sauce
1/2 cup wildflower honey
1 cup Frank’s hot sauce
2 each chipotles from can in adobo
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Preparation for the chicken: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine all the dry ingredients in a shallow bowl. Heat a 16″ cast-iron skillet on medium-high and add oil. Dredge the chicken in the flour mix and place skin-side down and cook until well browned. Turn and cook the underside as well (2 to 3 minutes each side). Place the cast-iron skillet into a 375-degree F oven for approximately 15 minutes.
While cooking the chicken in the oven, preheat stove-top grill. Once the chicken is removed from the oven, place in a large mixing bowl and add the sauce. Gently toss until well coated, then, using tongs, place the chicken (skin-side down) on the grill and cook until the chicken gets crispy again and sauce is sticky (3 to 4 minutes).
Preparation for the sauce: Combine all ingredients over low to medium heat and simmer until thickened and has a syrup-like consistency.
Serve immediately, perhaps with jicama slaw and cornbread.
